Chapter 28: Traveling (3)

"BOSS, it's Wisconsin on the other side," Grace pointed to the road in front of her, and said to Su Zhen, "Do you want to go over and have a look?"

"It's all the same grassland as here, what's so beautiful, and it's almost time to go back" At this time, it was already the afternoon of the second day of coming out. The horse team has crossed the mountains and forests to a prairie, and after crossing this road to Wisconsin, known as the American Badger State, although everyone is still a little unsatisfied, but the day after tomorrow is Easter, and it is time to return.

So everyone began to prepare for camp in a grassland clearing, and set off early tomorrow morning to return.

Just as everyone was preparing dinner, there was another dog barking "BOSS, that coyote is coming up again" Little John shouted at Su Zhen.

Su Zhen covered his forehead with his hand, and sighed helplessly, this coyote has followed them with a dead face since yesterday, and everyone is very helpless about it, let the dog chase it, didn't catch up, it won't be long before it will catch up again, catch up, right? He didn't resist, so he lay on the ground and pretended to be deflated. Want to kill it, right? According to Grace, this coyote should not have reached adulthood, it should have lost its mother, but Liu Ru, who was very maternal, resolutely refused to let it, alas~ Let it go.

In the evening, everyone gathered around the bonfire to have dinner together, dinner was stewed rabbit and stewed mutton, the mutton was brought before coming, and the rabbit was caught by Ah Da, Su Zhen also thought about hitting the rabbit with a shotgun, but as soon as it was proposed, Grace vetoed, Grace told Su Zhen to use the shotgun in his hand to fight the rabbit, except for a pile of rotten meat, nothing will be obtained, Su Zhen looked at the gun in his hand, scratched his head, yes, hit the rabbit with a large-caliber shotgun, the rabbit is not to mention the meat, it is estimated that the bones are rotten.

Everyone ate happily, and the coyote stood in the distance and looked at this side, but they didn't dare to approach because they were afraid, Liu Shihua held the little flying squirrel she named Jerry in her arms, and glared at the coyote fiercely, for fear that it would be bad for the little flying squirrel, and Su Zhen wanted to laugh when he saw that expression.

However, the little flying squirrel was very comfortably nibbling on the apple in Liu Shihua's arms, not caring at all that the culprit who almost thought of himself as dinner was not far away.

Ah Da gobbled up the food in his bowl, but he didn't forget to raise his head from time to time to be vigilant.

Su Zhen also felt that this coyote was quite pitiful at this time, it was estimated that due to long-term lack of food, it was very thin, and the lunch that was finally found was saved by his own gang, but what does it mean that it always follows us, is it still trying to take revenge? Su Zhen was very puzzled, it stands to reason how far ordinary animals would go when they saw such a large horse team, not to mention that there were a few evil stars in Ah Da

After Su Zhen finished gnawing on a bone, he looked at the skinny little coyote, and suddenly became playful, picked up a bone and aimed at the coyote and threw it over.

The coyote was startled, and fled backwards, and after a while he saw that nothing was wrong, and then he came back and sniffed it, and found that it was a bone, so he gnawed it, and just as the little coyote was gnawing happily, another bone smashed into its head very accurately.

The coyote wailed, and ran away, and after a while, he found that there was nothing wrong, and he was very unhappy and yelled twice at Su Zhen, the culprit, and this time it stabbed the hornet's nest.

Su Zhen whistled and called the dogs back, and after a while after the dogs came back, the coyote came back again, still watching from a distance, and everyone didn't care about it, anyway, there were dogs guarding at night, and the coyote didn't dare to approach the camp at all.

The next morning, when it was dawn, everyone got up and began to pack up their gear and get ready to go home.

Although it is still the same road, but because when I came to play all the way slowly, the return trip was obviously much faster than when I came, and I returned to the range of the ranch at about three o'clock in the afternoon, and I didn't see the coyote along the way.

However, when the horse team passed by the lake, under Hank's reminder, everyone saw a rare scene in nature, a confrontation between several birds of prey.

On one side of the confrontation is a pair of bald eagles, a symbol of the United States, and on the other side is a pair of golden eagles.

I saw two bald eagles circling around the nest of the golden eagle continuously, from time to time making a threatening squeaky sound, and the golden eagle was in the nest, and it was also like a scream in response.

Everyone looked at the golden eagle's nest built on top of a huge cedar tree and sighed, it was really big enough.

Su Zhen has seen the golden eagle many times after coming here, but it is the first time that the bald eagle has seen it, "Shouldn't the bald eagle generally live by the sea?" Why will it appear here," Su Zhen asked Grace very strangely.

In fact, this is a misconception of many people, thinking that bald eagles should live near the coast because they are sea eagles, but in fact, as long as there is abundant food, there are likely to live bald eagles, and as long as the water is rich in food, bald eagles will not migrate. The bald eagles must have migrated from somewhere else, apparently taking a fancy to the lake and trying to drive the golden eagles away. Grace explained, "Because of their size, golden eagles are often robbed of food by bald eagles, and it is estimated that they will not win this battle for the nest." ”

Heh~ This bald eagle is really domineering, Su Zhen thought to himself, no wonder it will become the national bird of the United States, as domineering as Lao Mei, but I like it~ When will we also get a bald eagle to raise and play, fighting eagles and walking dogs~ That's the life of the landlord, our dog is there, just a poor eagle~~ And this bald eagle is more than the pigtail dynasty of what Hai Dongqing can be more than a cow, after all, Hai Dongqing is just a large falcon, the body shape is not as good as the golden eagle, fierce is fierce enough, but the body length is generally 50-60 cm, The wingspan is 80-90 centimeters, and the bald eagle moves more than one meter in shape, and the wingspan of more than two meters is not a level at all.

At this time, the battle between the two sides obviously entered the white-hot stage, and the golden eagle had already flown into the sky, and the two sides flew up and down from time to time, but the bald eagle that was larger than the golden eagle was obviously more dominant, and soon the pair of golden eagles flew away because they were invincible, which made Su Zhen sigh and not fight.

"Birds of prey rarely fight to the death, generally after a short confrontation, the weak side will give up the fight and leave, and now is not the breeding season, there are no young birds in the nest, so the pair of golden eagles will leave so easily, if there are young birds in the nest, it will be different." Grace explained.

After the eagle fled, the bald eagle circled a few times and then flew into the eagle's nest and claimed it for himself.

After watching the raptor fight, everyone finally returned to the ranch, Kenny, Jane and Weiss sorted out their belongings and made an appointment with everyone to go to the town for the Easter rally tomorrow, and then drove away, and Liu Shihua, who said goodbye to his friends, hugged Jerry, followed by Xiaosi and Liu Ru into the house.

After the others had finished packing, they went back to their respective homes, each to find their own mother, and to prepare things for tomorrow's Easter.

When Su Zhen entered the house, he saw the figure of the little coyote in the distance flickering by, smiled, patted the head of Ah Da next to him, and walked into the house together.
